To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to outline (i) when she intends to set the terms of review with regards to the implementation of the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011; and (ii) a timescale for the publication of a report.

Due to the current COVID 19 pandemic my priority has been taking through a number of pieces of legislation that will help address immediate issues faced by the public during these challenging times. I intend to look at setting the terms of the review and aim to bring a draft statutory rule to the Infrastructure Committee before summer recess, if possible. Whenever the terms have been set and the regulations made, my aim is to publish the report as soon as is practicably possible.
